Hi all,
I've noticed a couple slow leaks in the PVC joints at my pump and filter. I've tried applying silicon caulk at the joints as a bandaid, but still seeing drops of water. See attached below, red arrows are the joints where I've observed leaks.
I'm guessing it's probably best to cut out everything and start fresh?
I'm pretty comfortable with DIY, working with PVC, but haven't done any repairs with pool equipment. I would appreciate any pointers! And if I'll need to replace anything other than PVC, advice on where to get parts.
